Birdies!

This week has been very busy because we’ve been watching all the birds in the garden. KimmiKat likes birds and has a feeding station next to the living room window so that she can watch all the birds feeding. The other cats and I can sit on the window sill and watch too. There seem to be lots of different birds visiting. KimmiKat says most of them are Tree Sparrows and Greenfinches, but there are Blue Tits, House Sparrows, a Chaffinch occassionally, a couple of Robins, lots of Blackbirds, Crows, Wood Pigeons, and feral Pigeons, and, two Coal Tits. KimmiKat seemed quite excited about the Coal Tits. She said she had not seen one before. One day she was watching the Coal Tit and out of the corner of her eye she saw another bird fly onto another part of the station. It was a Great Tit. When KimmiKat looked on the internet to find out about it, it said that Great Tits often watch coal tits so that they can follow them to the food. Well, it seems that that one had certainly followed our Coal Tit, but he hasn’t been since.

I thought you might like to see some pictures of a Coal Tit.          

         

The second picture is of a young (juvenile) Coal Tit.
